## Description

UnlimitedIRL is looking for a technically sharp, detail-oriented Solutions Engineer to join our Los Angeles team. You'll be the go-to technical resource for customers who buy streaming hardware from us, from solo IRL creators to businesses running professional productions. You'll guide customers through equipment setup, configure end-to-end streaming workflows, and diagnose problems across hardware, software, and networking. The right candidate understands how a stream gets from a camera to a viewer and can pinpoint where things break along the way. The ability to communicate technologically complex concepts to customers with a professional but friendly tone is also a must.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

 - Walk customers through the setup of encoders, bonded cellular units, cameras, audio gear, and related hardware

 - Configure and optimize OBS scenes, sources, encoder settings, and plugins for customer workflows

 - Set up and troubleshoot video transmission and playback workflows using protocols such as RTMP(S) and SRT

 - Diagnose stream issues such as dropped frames, bitrate instability, high latency, audio desync, and disconnects

 - Help customers optimize connectivity across cellular, Wi-Fi, and wired networks including multi-modem and bonded setups

 - Support customers with popular remote production tools such as IRLToolkit and TVU Producer

 - Read logs, stats, and diagnostics to isolate whether a problem is hardware, software, network, or platform related

 - Communicate with customers through Discord, Email and in person

 - Write clear documentation and troubleshooting guides

 - Escalate complex issues and share product feedback with internal teams

 - Be willing to travel periodically for live stream productions

 - Bitrate, resolution, frame rate, keyframe interval, and rate control (CBR vs. VBR)

 - How encoding choices affect quality, latency, and stability on limited connections

Protocols and Delivery

 - Streaming protocols including RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, and SRTLA, and when to use each

 - Ingest servers, stream keys, relay servers, and cloud-based restreaming

 - Streaming to platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, including multistreaming setups

Networking
